- Channel Feeds (complete)
- Movie Feeds (not supporting yet paid content)
- Trailer Feeds (complete)

Note: To search for a video/channel/playlist, you have to write with an EXTERNAL keyboard what you want in the box on Showtime’s homepage (with a magnifying glass icon).
The plugin does not handle how a video is played, it is the work of Showtime, if in the middle of the video playback it fails, the audio is synched off or other, please report it to andoma.
If by any reason when navigating feeds, your ps3 crashes it is because the memory of ps3 is extremely limited, and because of that navigating extremely fast will crash Showtme itself. There have been efforts to improve the plugin since the Beta version was released so it wouldn’t need so much memory.

4.3.30
Add multi language support to TheTVDB integration
Fixes #1544
4.3.228

Fixes #1617
4.3.207
Fix bug making 'Refresh metdata...' option in item menu not to work at all
4.3.206
Avoid loading .mkv attachments into RAM
Instead we keep a reference to where in the MKV file the attachment is located and we can later open a slice of the mkv-file as the attachment.
This combined with the fact that freetype can open fonts from a file handle reduces the static memory use for attachments to 0 bytes
Fixes #1689 (out of memory (av error -12) with certain MKV files)
4.3.203
Initial attempt of a built-in FTP client in Showtime
To use it enter 'ftp://ip.address.of.ftpserver' in search bar or create a bookmark (much like the CIFS/SMB client)
Note that the code has only been tested against a few FTP servers so it's probably still buggy. If you find any problems and want to report please turn on "FTP logging" in settings:dev and include the logfile in ticket.
4.3.20
Add support for sorting on filename and date when browsing over UPNP

4.1.401
The list of subtitles are now sorted based on user preferred languages
4.1.398
Fix a bug that made "Custom query" impossible to erase in the metadata editor. It would come back next time the item was scanned
4.1.397
Fix a crash that was caused by invalid markup tags in SRT files
Typically this would happen if the SRT file contained a subtitle entry with just one tag that was invalid. Now such invalid tags will be
presented as normal text instead.
Fixes #1501
